12Df/D12/D7 Servo Series Features

12Df/D12/D7 Servo Series
  • Position control / Position feedback feature
  • Built-in drive circuit, position sensor, DC motor and gear box
  • Reasonable price compared to the 12Lf series
  • Stall force and speed adjustment within a limited range by adjusting the motor operating rate
  • 12mm diameter cored motor lineup
    (For better durability and force, see the 12Lf series)
  • 26mm stroke
  • Rated Load of 6N and 12N according to gear ratio
    (Speed ​​is inversely proportional to Rated Load, so the stronger the Rated Load, the slower the speed.)
  • Support RS-485 or TTL / PWM communication
    – TTL / PWM communication version operates by automatically recognizing the input TTL / PWM signal
    – When using PWM communication, only the position command is available without position feedback (For feedback feature, use TTL or RS-485 communication)
  • IR open protocol available.
    (The MODBUS RTU protocol is available with 12Lf series)

Example for Application of Standard Accessories

2Hinge is rotatable by 90degree according to the mounting condition. Without hinge, actuator can be mounted using IR-MB06 (for 27mm stroke version) or IR-MB07 (for 37/50/87mm stroke version) Metal brackets. Also, IR-EB01 Rid end bearing is also one of mounting option. Please refer to the mounting manual for each accessory.

8SUS Rod-end tip and 7 soket-set screw can be used according to user’s need.

Or, user may apply their own rod-end tip(M3 standard). Make sure to put 5 M3 nut before applying rod-end tip. The M3 nut is a double nut concept for angle adjustment of rod-end tip mounting.

When mounting rod-end tip, make sure to fix the M3 nut and the rod-end tip by the tool (such as long nose) to set angle and to prevent the rod from turnig together. (If not, it may cause damage to the product. the rod should not be turned all the time.)
